In the last part I flattened the image once more and added some effects using different plugins. First
one was Knoll Light Factory. It is a great plugin! I recommend everyone to get it. I used it to create
the lights in the sky. The one on the left is pretty obvious. It is a warm light for the sun. But I have
another one slightly visible on the right side of the building that has a magenta color.

Next one is chromatic aberration done by 55mm Film Tool. Nowdays everyone is familiar with this effect
but I find that most people don't seem to get it right. It is an effect that can be really annoying if
you abuse it. I say if it is clearly visible it is already wrong! It's a matter of testing and finding
the right balance. Here is my attempt:

Next one is vignetting also by 55mm Film Tool. First I duplicate the layer to be able to modify it later
like erasing it from some parts wich I did in the top left corner of the image.

Last is the film grain for which I have used NIK color effects film effect tool. It is on a seperate
layer whichs oppacity is set a bit lower (around 50-70 percent).

nice tutorial, thanks, anyway I prefer the first image with a proper sky over the post production. The first one is closer to what human eye sees, the one you post produced add what professional brands camera manufacters are trying really hard to get rid of. just to think about!
